Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 January 2014
682. Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when the records of the Congested Districts Board will be made available to the public; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1548/14]
View answerThere are no plans at present to make the records of the Congested Districts Board generally available to the public. My officials regularly access these records in conjunction with the records of the former Irish Land Commission to service queries from the public relating to current and past transactions. Limited access to these records may be made available following application to the Legal Services Division of my Department but access is subject to the restrictions for inspection and delivery of these documents laid down in the Land Purchase Acts Rules and in the Data Protection and Freedom of Information Acts.
